The Visit
The Visit
Composer(s): Bodie Chandler - Edward McKendry
First release by: The Cyrkle - 1967
She was here with me today
Walking softly holding hands
And I thought I heard her say
She loved me
As we walked I felt her eyes
Reaching deeply into mine
And I thought I heard her sigh
She loved me
And along the way we shared a thought or two
It seemed as if I knew her well
Then she leaned to me and as we gently kissed
I knew that moment my heart fell
She was here
Now I'm lost in wondering
As if waking suddenly
Was it real or just a dream
Where is she?
Was she really here today?
Or was I just drifting back
To the times I heard her say
She loved me
Was she really here today?
She loved me
She loved me

Comme Au Matin
Comme Au Matin
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Comme au matin
Du premier matin
Comme au premier jour
Du premier amour
L'aube s'est levée
Encore étonnée
De voir qu'ici, rien, rien
N'avait changé
En ce temps-là
On disait tout bas
Qu'en l'an 2100
Y'aurait plus de vent
Plus de symphonies
Même plus de pluie
Que les hommes alors, auraient
Tout détruit
Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour est revenu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel
Comme au matin
Du premier chagrin
Comme aux premiers pleurs
Des premières peurs
Les hommes ont failli
Perdre la folie
Et laisser le monde
À jamais désuni
Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour est revenu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel
Un jour l'enfant
Repeindra de blanc
Les eaux et la mer
Même les frontières
Et l'eau des rivières
Sera comme hier
Et le monde, un jour, peut-être
Aura changé
Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour sera venu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel
Oui mais de guerre en guerre l'amour sera venu
Pour gagner la dernière
Celle qu'on croyait perdue
Mais moi, je savais qu'un jour viendrait
Où les hommes referaient
Un univers arc-en-ciel

Rock The Casbah
Rock The Casbah
Composer(s): The Clash
Performer(s): The Clash;
and various other artists
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The shiek he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille
Chorus
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail
Chorus
Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive
Chorus
The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better eaarn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way
As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed
Chorus
He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it

Donna, La Prima Donna
Donna, La Prima Donna
((Adapted from: Donna The Prima Donna (Dion (Di Muci) - 1963))
Composer(s): Dion DiMucci - Ernie Maresca - Mogol
Performer(s): I Nomadi - 1965
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Per caso l'incontrai un mese fa
Sorrisi, le parlai
E poi si sa...
Dopo un attimo m'innamorai
Ma quasi subito
Poi la lasciai
Mi ricordo parlava di lei perché
Non pensava ad altro
Che a lei, che a me
Non restava che dirle di sì
Quante sere ho passato così
Con quella donna
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Donna, donna
La prima donna, donna
Diamanti e vestiti d'oro e lamé
Ma credo li comprasse a rate perché
I soldi per il taxi volle da me
Quella prima donna
Non fa per me
Mi ricordo parlava di lei perché
Non pensava ad altro
Che a lei, che a me
Non restava che dirle di sì
Quante sere ho passato csì
Con quella donna

Comme Au Cinéma
Comme Au Cinéma
Composer(s): J.M. Moreau - R. Musumarra
Performer(s): Alain Delon
Blanc et noir
Extérieurs xxxxx sur la Jaguar
Comme au cinéma
Mise au point sur moi
On a raconté plein d'histoires
Entre "le Jeune Loup" et "le Guépard"
C'était souvent assez banal
Mais ça suffit pour faire du mal
Y a des gros plans des images floues
La vérité c'est juste en dessous
Qu'est-ce qu'on peut dire
D'un homme comme moi?
On dit c'qu'on veut
Moi, je changerai pas!
Quelques mots qui pourraient changer le scénario
Comme au cinéma
Mise au point sur moi
Plans serrés, musique d'ambiance
Quelque fois on s'trompe de séquence
Ni passé simple ni passé compliqué
J'conjugue ma vie à l'imparfait
Sous les projecteurs
Manque de chaleur
C'est tant pis pour les acteurs
Mais quand je suis tout seul devant le miroir
Derrière les mots, derrière l'image
Y a plus de star
Et tout ce qui se passe à l'intérieur
Ça s'appelle aussi la pudeur
Le meilleur rôle d'un homme public
C'est de ne jamais ressembler à ses critiques
Moi, je suis comme tout le monde
Je n'suis pas très sûr
Mais j'ai des rêves pour le futur
De projecteurs tout en couleurs
Pour faire rêver les menteurs
Plus de projecteurs
Coupez moteur
C'est trop dangereux
Pour le cœur
Je voudrais simplement qu'un jour
Tu reviennes enfin me parler d'amour
Les caméras resteraient à leur place
Et entre nous on briserait la glace
Car si je t'aime du fond de ma nuit Américaine
C'est plus du cinéma
Mise au point sur toi
Alors pour toi, pour moi
On laisserait tomber la comédie
Et on s'écrirait un roman
Pour toute la vie
Allez viens, ferme les yeux
Et sur l'écran de mes paupières closes
Alors certainement, toi
Tu verras quelque chose
C'est plus du cinéma...
Mise au point sur toi...

Rock The Boat
Rock The Boat
Composer(s): Wally Holmes
Performer(s): Hues Corporation
So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
to rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat-t-t-t-t
Ever since our voyage of love began
your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
and your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
there's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me
Our love is like a ship on the ocean
we've been sailing with a cargo full of, love and devotion
So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat-t-t-t-t
Up to now we sailed through every storm
and I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
oh I need to have the strength that flows from you
don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through
Our love is like a ship ..........

The Virgin
The Virgin
Composer(s): Gene Clark
Performer(s): Gene Clark
She went off to the city
To find what she was looking for
To identify, to really try
To find herself some hope
With the summer sun for laughing
And the winter rain did pour
She was lovelier from learning
And from living, loving more
From her dancing love and young soul
And the gypsies in her dream
To the pulse of stark acceptance
When the winds began to freeze
With no curfews left to hold her
And no walls to shield her pain
Finding out that facts were older
And that life forms are insane
The presence of protection seemed
To fade, as did her doubt
That she now was no exception
Nor was the love who pushed her out
Though the streets cried out
Go, homesick
Virtues strength of mind would ring
In the maladies of meaning
The sad song she learned to sing
Now, her teachers and philosophers
And the poet`s silver throat
Are the vessels which on wisdom`s karmic ocean she will float
Was this her revolution
Just a child in love`s crusade
With the question in her innocence
Through the lies her eyes betrayed?

Comme À Ostende
Comme À Ostende
Composer(s): Jean-Roger Caussimon; Léo Ferré
First release: Léo Ferré
On voyait les chevaux d'la mer
Qui fonçaient la têt' la première
Et qui fracassaient leur crinière
Devant le casino désert
La barmaid avait dix-huit ans
Et moi qui suis vieux comm' l'hiver
Au lieu d'me noyer dans un verr'
Je m'suis baladé dans l'printemps
De ses yeux taillés en amande
Ni gris ni verts, ni gris ni verts
Comme à Ostende et comm' partout
Quand sur la ville tombe la pluie
Et qu'on s'demande si c'est utile
Et puis surtout si ça vaut l'coup
Si ça vaut l'coup d'vivre sa vie
J'suis parti vers ma destinée
Mais voilà qu'une odeur de bière
De frites et de moul's marinières
M'attir' dans un estaminet
Là y avait des typ's qui buvaient
Des rigolos des tout rougeauds
Qui s'esclaffaient qui parlaient haut
Et la bière on vous la servait
Bien avant qu'on en redemande
Oui ça pleuvait, oui ça pleuvait
Comme à Ostende et comm' partout
Quand sur la ville tombe la pluie
Et qu'on s'demande si c'est utile
Et puis surtout si ça vaut l'coup
Si ça vaut l'coup d'vivre sa vie
On est allé, bras d'ssus, bras d'ssous
Dans l'quartier où y a des vitrines
Remplies de présenc's féminines
Qu'on veut s'payer quand on est sôul
Mais voilà que tout au bout d'la rue
Est arrivé un limonair'
Avec un vieil air du tonnerr'
À vous fair' chialer tant et plus
Si bien que tous les gars d'la bande
Se sont perdus, se sont perdus
Comme à Ostende et comm' partout
Quand sur la ville tombe la pluie
Et qu'on s'demande si c'est utile
Et puis surtout si ça vaut l'coup
Si ça vaut l'coup d'vivre sa vie

Rock Steady
Rock Steady
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting
Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye
I said to my baby this sounds like the ticket for you and I
It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip
To commune with Mother Nature on a big wooden ship
We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free
There was an old guy with a beard
And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see
This old guy was the boss he said "I won't tell you no lie
But there's more to this journey than is apparent to the eye"
He said he'd heard God's message on the radio
It was going to rain forever and he'd told him to go
"I'll protect you all don't worry I'll be father to you all
I'll save two of every animal, no matter how small
But I'll need some assistants to look after the zoo
I can't see nobody better so you'll just have to do"
I said, "Just tell me something before it's too late and we're gone
I mean just how safe is this boat we'll be on?"
"It's Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady"
It rained for forty days and forty long nights
I'd never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend
Was being proved right
We had no time to worry though there was just too much to do
Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo
We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too
We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo
She said, "Hey baby I don't mean to be flip
But it seems this old man is on some power trip"
I said, "No, no sugar you must be wrong
I mean look at the size of this boat we're on
We're as safe as houses, as safe as mother's milk
He's as cool as November and as smooth as China silk
He's God's best friend, he's got a seat on the board
And life may be tough but we're sailing with the lord"
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Woke up this morning and something had changed
Like a room in my house had just been rearranged
She said, "It's stopped raining and I know the guy's kind
But if we stay here much longer I'm gonna lose my mind"
So we said we had a mission for his favorite dove
To see if there was any mercy from this great God above
So to find dry land, away the white bird flew
We didn't need no country just a rock would do
When the dove came back to us he threw down a twig
It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig
"But the rock's too small," he said, "can't you see?"
I said, "It's just perfect for her, it's perfect for me"
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady
Rock steady / Rock steady

The Violet The Rose And You
The Violet The Rose And You
Composer(s): Joe Hiller - Geo. F. Olcott
The shades of night were falling and the sun had gone to rest
In dreams I seemed to see the one I've always loved the best
She stood among the roses where perfume filled the air
'Twas the love light from her eyes so bright that put me in despair
The roses lose their splendor and they droop when you're away
The stars don't shine so brightly and I miss you more each day
You've made the world a garden of roses filled with love
You are all to me in this wide world, you're mine by the stars above
The Violet, the rose and You, dear, that I met in the garden of love
The moonlight, the sunshine, all came with you, you brighten the heavens above
Each rose seemed to tell a story of your love so fond and true
I need you, I want you, I love you forever
the Violet, the Rose and You

Comm' De Bien Entendu!
Comm' De Bien Entendu!
Composer(s): Jean Boyer; Georges Van Parys
Performer(s): Andrex
and various other artists
Voici, contée sur une valse musette
L'histoire en quelques mots
Du beau roman d'une jeune midinette
Et d'un p'tit Parigot
Tous les refrains d'amour sont un peu bêtes
Celui là l'est aussi
Mais si vous r'prenez en chœur ma chansonnette
Je vous dirai: Merci!
Elle était jeune et belle
Comm' de bien entendu!
Il eut l'béguin pour elle
Comm' de bien entendu!
Elle était demoiselle
Comm' de bien entendu!
Il se débrouilla pour qu'elle ne le soit plus!
Comm' de bien entendu!
Ils se mirent en ménage
Comm' de bien entendu!
Elle avait du courage
Comm' de bien entendu!
Il était au chômage
Comm' de bien entendu!
Ça lui f'sait déjà un gentil p'tit rev'nu...
Comm' de bien entendu!
Voulant faire un' folie
Comm' de bien entendu!
Il offrit à sa mie
Comm' de bien entendu!
Un billet d'la lot'rie
Comm' de bien entendu!
Ça n'lui fit jamais que cent ball's de perdues ...
Comm' de bien entendu!
Mais il se mit à boire
Comm' de bien entendu!
Ell' ne fit pas d'histoires
Comm' de bien entendu!
Mais pour n'pas être un' poire
Comm' de bien entendu!
Ell' se consola en le faisant cocu
Comm' de bien entendu!
Il la trouva mauvaise
Comm' de bien entendu!
Mais elle ram'nait du pèze
Comm' de bien entendu!
Au lieu de ram'ner sa fraise
Comm' de bien entendu!
Il se contenta d'lui foutr' son pied au cul
Comm' de bien entendu!
Et, depuis, l'on raconte
Comm' de bien entendu!
Qu'il y trouve son compte
Comm' de bien entendu!
Et, quand chez lui, on monte
Comm' de bien entendu!
Il s'en va faire un p'tit tour au P.M.U....
Comm' de bien entendu!

Hey kids rock and roll
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey kids boogey too, did ya
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes

Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean

The Village Of St. Bernadette
Composer(s): Eula Parker
Performer(s): Andy Williams; Jack Jones; Vera Lynn
I've travelled far, the land and the sea
Beautiful places I happened to be
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
There, like a dream, this wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine swept over me there
I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
Now I am home, I'm happy to be
Telling of places I've travelled to see
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Rock Of Faith
Rock Of Faith
Composer(s): Clive Nolan; John Wetton
Performer(s): John Wetton
Sanctuary
When all hope deserted me
This will forever, always be
Something so close to me
My Rock of Faith
Pulling me
Like the heat of the sun
Calling to Mercury
Now till eternity
Before my eye
I’ll never stand alone, for I
Have the foundation stone I knew
So as my spirits rise anew
Then with all speed
To the path
That will lead
Surely back to You……
Strangely now
How the air’s getting cold
Shadows appear on the wall
The feeling of old
Lifting me up again
My Rock of Faith
And if I start to fall
I fear nothing at all…

The Very Thought Of You
The Very Thought Of You
((French Version: Obsession (Julien Clerc) - 2003))
Composer(s): Ray Noble
First release by: Ray Noble and His Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

Performer(s): Bay City Rollers; Nixon's Head
I get my kicks from rock and roll
A 12 bar boogie gonna bless my soul
Wanna dance to that rhythm
Get down to that rockin' beat
I don't wanna play no heavy jazz
With high class music
And its stuffed shirt nights
'Cos I wanna be a rock 'n roll star
And make my money out of playin' guitar
*'Cos I'm a rock and roller
I'm gonna rock it, gonna roll all over
I'm gonna shake it to the midnight stroller
And rock the night away
*repeat
I don't wanna play no Memphis soul
I don't want funk - just rock and roll
Gonna dance to the rhythm get down to that rockin' beat
Make my name in the headline news
There I'm busted singin' the blues
I must find myself a rock 'n roll band
I'll play my music just as fast as I can
*chorus
Okay people
Get your rockin' shoes on
Stroll us with the
Rock and roller
Rock and Roller
yes I'm a rock and roller
Yes I'm a rock and roller
